AI Pair Programming FAQs

Question 1

Can this skill help with Test-Driven Development (TDD)?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the dedicated TDD mode enforces a 'test-first' workflow where the AI or developer writes a failing test before implementation, tracking coverage and ensuring all tests pass before proceeding.

Question 2

What is Switch Mode in AI Pair Programming?

Accepted Answer

Switch Mode automatically alternates roles between the developer and the AI at configurable intervals (e.g., every 10 minutes). It provides a handoff process that includes a context summary to ensure a smooth transition of responsibilities.

Question 3

Does it support real-time code reviews?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. The Review mode provides continuous feedback on security vulnerabilities, performance bottlenecks, and adherence to best practices as you write code.

Question 4

How do I start a mentoring session with the AI?

Accepted Answer

You can use the command 'claude-flow pair --start --mode mentor'. This mode adjusts the AI's pace, provides detailed step-by-step explanations, and focuses on teaching design patterns.

Question 5

What are the requirements for using this skill?

Accepted Answer

You need the Claude Flow CLI installed. While it works with any project, it is highly recommended to have a Git repository, a testing framework, and a linter configured for the best experience.
